After finishing 2017 on a high note, the Adirondack Thunder looked to carry that momentum into the first week of 2018.
With a firmly established first line, some solid goaltending, and a little third period magic, the Thunder finished one shootout goal shy of a perfect 4 for 4 week.
Wednesday, 1/3: Adirondack 4, Manchester 3 (OT)
The Thunder kicked off the 2018 portion of their schedule on home ice Wednesday night, where for the third straight week they hosted the first place Monarchs.
Just like the last time the two teams met, the Thunder would find themselves trailing in the first period.
